HEFi Festival 2022

The HEFi Festival 2022 brings together a collection of continuing professional development events delivered by academic and professional service staff at University of Birmingham. We have over 18 scheduled sessions to take place from Monday 4th July until Friday 8th July and for the first time in 2 years we are excited to host the majority of these face-to-face, with only a handful of sessions being delivered online. Topics explored include curriculum design with a focus on the 2022/23 academic year, and this features design sessions delivered by colleagues in both HEFi and the university's ProFF team, the latter of which featuring a Curriculum Design Clinic. We would also like to explore emerging topics and issues currently facing the institution and more broadly, the sector. We will be holding a discussion led by academic staff on digital-focused themes such distance-learning at the institution, the use of e-portfolios, developing effective and aligned rubrics ,and designing MCQs. We'd also like to disseminate projects of interest, such as our student-led assessment and feedback and voice projects funded by the Education Enhancement Fund (EEF). As usual, the Festival will also showcase the support HEFi can offer, including CPD sessions supporting colleague writing HEA Fellowship applications.
